‘No water, no hope’: Karnataka drought pushes Chitradurga farmers to brink

Описание: Severe drought and intense summer heat have pushed farmers in Karnataka’s Chitradurga district into a deep crisis. Drying ponds, failing borewells, and continuous water shortage have left farmers struggling to save their crops, especially areca nut plantations. Many are spending heavily from their savings and even taking loans to buy tanker water for irrigation, pushing them further into debt. Farmers say they have been facing the crisis for months with no relief in sight, as livestock and crops continue to suffer due to lack of water. They are now demanding urgent government intervention to prevent the situation from worsening further.
